Narlai - Calm Town of Rajasthan

Surprises are most
of the time excited no matter what it is related to. However, when we talk
about the tourism then first thing come to mind is lonely places with amazing
spots and less crowd. I always search for the places that are clam and
beautiful with natural scenes. My search is still on for finest destination,
though I got some really impressive locations to visit in India. Today my
target is Narlai the less known location of
Rajasthan. There are not many spots to visit in the town, but some of them are
really the best destinations of Narlai. A village that comes under Desuri
tehsil of the Pali region in Rajasthan.

This
spectacular village of Rajasthan is only 30 km away from Ranakpur. Amazing
heritage hotel for accommodation, exploring attractions and the nearby
wonderful tourist destinations are special features of Narlai. Jodhpur andUdaipur
two big tourism city of Rajasthan and they are a few km away from Narlai.

Without
wasting your time, I would love to describe the spots of Narlai. In my previous
notes you will find the Ranakpur as the town of Jain temples. Though Narlai is
also having few Hindu and Jain temples to visit. As I said there are fewer
places in the town, but the two spots that should not be missed in Narlai are
Aai Mata Temple and Rawala Narlai.

Attraction
of Narlai:

Aai
Mata Temple: one of the oldest temples of town located at rock hill. Once you
reach the temple area you can also visit the Jekalji Mahadev shrine. As per
sources Aai Mata cake to Mahadev temple and stayed in Narlai for some time. Her
purpose to stay in town was to spread the message of God to people. She always
worked for the welfare of Narlai people. Air Malta is also famous for
developing a cave in the rock hills just with her stick. A divine lamp was
placed by her in the cave which is popular for producing saffron colored soot
known as Kesar. All lamps are producing black carbon, though this is the only
lamp in the world that produces Kesar.

Lord
Shiva Temple: Also known as Jekalji Mahadev temple is one more impressive spot
to visit. There are 100 steps you have to cover to reach the temple. However,
it is beautifully designed by the local people in the hills. It is basically a
cave temple where the lord Shiva idol is placed. According to sources Rishi
Narad came here for meditation. He prayed God Shiva and later at the place was
named as Narlai. The striking image of the temple is enough to state the place
as a wonderful location of town.

Rawala
Narlai: Frankly telling Rawala are heritage homes or in simple words luxury
hotels providing royal service to their customers. Rawala Narlai is located at
Chieftan Village closer to Narlai town. It was designed and developed under
ruling period of King and Queen Swaroop Singh. The basic region behind Rawala
was hunting and personal gathering. Rawala is full of comfort, aesthetics and
greenery atmosphere. The best feature of Rawala is it covered with Aravalli
hills that are already famous to the world for amazing valleys and deep
jungles.

Few
things I would like to discuss about Rawala Narlai and that is a service
provided by the administration. I with my friend stayed in the Rawala for more
than 10 days and we really enjoyed each moment of the tour. Here you can enjoy
Train Safari, Narlai Spa, trekking, elephant hill walk, cave temple trekking,
leopard sighting, countryside safari, village walk, horse riding, tea spot near
the lake, dinner at step wall, etc. Each feature is unique and you will be served
with quality hospitality.
